Interesting: On B1G Network, between games, they just announced that Northwestern will be turning down any bids for any tournaments. Came from Chris Collins they stated. This includes the Crown, NIT, or CIB or anything else. Sited the injuries they have but.......... could it be something else?

I think Self, like Calipari and some others, benefitted a great deal from under the table payments to get players. NIL being legal now and bringing the playing field to a more level standard, I believe has hurt him being able to get the best of the best players and winning with them. Just my personal opinion.

If we have our guy, why are we even interviewing anyone else?

Let’s not and say we did.

UH-OH, he's on the jazz man, he's on the jazz!

If you were hoping for Wade, then you have already leaped off the edge.

I'm sold just based on this alone.

Alert: Activate the plane trackers. We don’t play until Thursday, perfect time over the next three days for such a meeting. (That is if Brad isn’t already locked up)

100% agree. What Dolson can do is give McCollum the resources to surround him with anything McCollum thinks he needs to be successful. Dolson can also provide help and resources in areas outside of McCollum’s duties, such as a NIL/contacts/contract specialists to assist with dotting I’s and crossing T’s but when it comes to the bench and staff that directly interacts with the players on a day to day basis or recruiting, that should be 100% McCollum’s choices. McCollum seems to know the players he wants and needs, so he needs guys that can translate those into recruiting or scouting. My guess is, he brings a lot of his staff with him if he is the hire. Similar to Cig.

Briefly embraces…. Reminded me of the blow by handshake line. I posted a video of it in the game thread also. Not the best video but you can see it decently well.

This is not me, I just found this with google. Date said Dec 7th, 2022.

I’ve been to many games. I can’t remember exactly but it’s been in the last 5 years I think, because it was after I got season tickets if I’m not mistaking.

We have before. I’ve been there when we had her.

Not a great video but I’m not a producer either. IMG_0080.mov

I like hearing Stevens and McCollum this morning. I would be happy with either, but CRAZY thought, how about Stevens as the GM and McCollum as the head coach or vice versa. Honestly though, McCollum seems more plausible based on what I have read on here (personal opinion), and while I would be on board with that, my recent poll suggests it would divide the fan base. But I'm still on the Stevens train until it crashes and burns or arrives at the station safely.

I’m good with anyone 1-10 and I like the order too for the most part. I’d probably switch 8 & 10 though but that’s just me. Gets past 10, I’ll be very unhappy except for Collins. I wouldn’t be overly joyed with him but wouldn’t hate it either.

C’mon Chris. Isn’t it so obvious?! There is no noise because the process hasn’t started yet. Kathy’s intel has told us that the process won’t start until the season has officially ended. Therefore, no soft chatter to be heard and hence the reason that Dolson isn’t talking to anyone yet. He doesn’t want to get fired by Quinn for starting the process before IU allows him too.

I don’t know if the Mods have a way to disprove my theory but I would love for them to if possible, and I hope that I am wrong too. I’d love for Issac and BehindTheBench to be accurate. My theory though is that Kathy came in trying to tell us about the process but was being really smug about it. She got on people’s nerves and rubbed them the wrong way which caused people to get upset and tune her out, regardless of whether or not what she said was reality or not. She got very butt hurt about that do decided to sarcastically come in as with a blaze of glory under the name Issac (another board member screen name reference like Kathy) pronouncing Stevens to IU to mess with us all. It was believable at first until the Friday that the info started coming in real time and fast and furious. The info about the negotiation of the contract, needing and getting board approval all within an hour or so. This is when I made the list about starting to feel duped and things getting weird. He/She started to get heat again and realized that the gig may be up but still tried to through out believable feelers but less and less people were holding on to his word. He decided to lay low for a few days, periodically trying to drop nuggets to see if they would hit as other insiders dropped nuggets of info. Finally, he decided to give up that persona and try a new one with BehindTheBench. Another screen name that portrays a closeness to the program or “insider”. The posting styles are eerily similar too. Again, trying to see if he can real people in so maybe at a later date they can come out and say that we are all so gullible and out of touch with reality as revenge for the treatment she got as Kathy. Again, I hope my Theory is all asinine and Kathy, Isaac, and BehindTheBench are not all the same person and do know what they are talking about, but as of now, these are my thoughts. Can we just hire a coach already. Now, back to the drinking portion of the thread. But for the record, I am violating my own schedule by not drinking right now even though I may be spitting out incoherent content. Good night Ya’ll!!

10 business days puts this about Thursday, March 6th.

Yes, something along those lines. Just gotta come back in about an hour with some slurred speech and incoherent talk about fishing with Calhoun and him telling you Dean Smith would be our next Coach. Thanks for staying on schedule!!

RE: News Thread - We do but its buried about 5 pages deep on this board and hasn't even reached the 2nd page yet because there really is no credible news out there. (just kidding for those who might actually go looking for this fictional thread)

Google Hooters about 10 times and go to their website, facebook, twitter/X, and Insta pages and then it might be a wish granted. Might have to bing it too. LOL

Is Isaac and Kathy, actually the same person?

Just making a light hearted jab at the pace of this thread. It was not a personal jab at you.

This is so 20 pages ago, lol
